All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (HK$’000) except otherwise indicated. 2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND AMENDMENTS TO HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”) New and amendments to HKFRSs that are mandatorily effective for the current year In the current year the Group has applied the following new and amendments to HKFRSs issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountant (the “HKICPA”) for the first time which are mandatorily effective for the Group’s annual period beginning on or after 1 April 2023 for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements: HKFRS 17 (including the October 2020 Insurance Contracts and February 2022 Amendments to HKFRS 17) Amendments to HKAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates Amendments to HKAS 12 Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction Amendments to HKAS 12 International Tax Reform-Pillar Two model Rules Amendments to HKAS 1 and Disclosure of Accounting Policies HKFRS Practice Statement 2 5The application of these new and amendments to HKFRSs in the current year had no material impact on the Group’s financial positions and performance for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.Change in accounting policy as a result of application of the HKICPA guidance on the accounting implications of the abolition of the Mandatory Provident Fund (“MPF”)-Long Service Payment (“LSP”) offsetting mechanism in Hong Kong The Group has a subsidiary operating in Hong Kong which are obliged to pay LSP to employees under certain circumstances. Meanwhile the Group makes mandatory MPF contributions to the trustee who administers the assets held in a trust solely for the retirement benefits of each individual employee.Offsetting of LSP against an employee’s accrued retirement benefits derived from employers’ MPF contributions was allowed under the Employment Ordinance (Cap.57). In June 2022 the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region gazetted the Employment and Retirement Schemes Legislation (Offsetting Arrangement) (Amendment) Ordinance 2022 (the “Amendment Ordinance”) which abolishes the use of the accrued benefits derived from employers’ mandatory MPF contributions to offset severance payment and LSP (the “Abolition”). The Abolition will officially take effect on 1 May 2025 (the “Transition Date”). In addition under the Amendment Ordinance the last month’s salary immediately preceding the Transition Date (instead of the date of termination of employment) is used to calculate the portion of LSP in respect of the employment period before the Transition Date.In July 2023 the HKICPA published “Accounting implications of the abolition of the MPF-LSPoffsetting mechanism in Hong Kong” (the “Guidance”) which provides guidance for the accounting for the offsetting mechanism and the impact arising from abolition of the MPF-LSP offsetting mechanism in Hong Kong. In light of this the Group has implemented the guidance published by the HKICPA in connection with the LSP obligation retrospectively so as to provide more reliable and more relevant information about the effects of the offsetting mechanism and the Abolition.The Group considered the accrued benefits arising from employer’s MPF contributions that have been vested with the employee and which could be used to offset the employee’s LSP benefits as a deemed contribution by the employee towards the LSP. Historically the Group has been applying the practical expedient in paragraph 93(b) of HKAS 19 to account for the deemed employee’s contributions as a reduction of the service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered. 6Based on the Guidance as a result of the Abolition these contributions are no longer considered “linkedsolely to the employee’s service in that period” since the mandatory employer’s MPF contributions after the Transition Date can still be used to offset the pre-transition LSP obligation. Therefore it would not be appropriate to view the contributions as “independent of the number of years of service” and the practical expedient in paragraph 93(b) of HKAS 19 is no longer applicable. Instead these deemed contributions should be attributed to periods of service in the same manner as the gross LSP benefit applying paragraph 93(a) of HKAS 19. Accordingly the Group has recognised a cumulative catch-up adjustment in profit or loss for the service cost interest expense and remeasurement effect from changes in actuarial assumptions for the year ended 31 March 2023 with corresponding adjustment to the LSP obligation. The cumulative catch-up adjustment is calculated as the difference at the enactment date (16 June 2022) between the carrying amount of the LSP liability calculated under paragraph 93(b) of HKAS 19 before the Abolition and the carrying amount of the LSP liability calculated under paragraph 93(a) of HKAS 19 after the Abolition.The change in accounting policy has no material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the current and previous year.Amendments to HKFRSs that have been issued but not yet effective The Group has not early applied the following amendments to HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective: Amendments to HKFRS 10 and HKAS 28 Sales or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associates or Joint Venture1 Amendments to HKFRS 16 Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback2 Amendments to HKAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and related amendments to Hong Kong Interpretation 5 (2020)2 Amendments to HKAS 1 Non-current Liabilities with Covenants2 Amendments to HKAS 7 and HKFRS 7 Supplier Finance Arrangement2 Amendments to HKAS 21 Lack of Exchange ability3 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined. 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025. The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of the amendments to HKFRSs will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the foreseeable future. 73. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. For the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements information is considered material if such information is reasonably expected to influence decisions made by primary users. In addition the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the “Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period.The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgments estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues expenses assets and liabilities and their accompanying disclosures and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future. 4.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On 23 May 2024 a joint venture formed between Sang Hing Civil Contractors Company Limited a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Kuly Construction & Engineering Company Limited was awarded a tender for a civil engineering project in relation to site formation and engineering infrastructure works in Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen New Development Area Hong Kong with contract sum of approximately HK$560 million which the contract period is from June 2024 to December 2028.Save as disclosed above the Group had no material events for disclosure subsequent to 31 March 2024 and up to the date of this announcement. 13MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS BUSINESS REVIEW AND FINANCIAL RESULTS The Group is an established main contractor with over 20 years of experience specialising in a variety of civil engineering works including site formation road and bridge construction drainage and sewerage construction watermain installation and slope works in Hong Kong.We are a Group C contractor under the Site Formation and Roads and Drainage categories with confirmed status and are qualified to tender for public works contracts of any values exceeding HK$400 million.The Group was awarded a tender in May 2024 for a civil engineering project in relation to site formation and engineering infrastructure works in Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen New Development Area Hong Kong (Project W61) with contract sum of approximately HK$560 million which the contract period is from June 2024 to December 2028.For the year ended 31 March 2024 the Group’s revenue was approximately HK$116.5 million (2023: approximately HK$323.7 million) representing a decrease of 64.0% as compared with last year. The loss attributable to shareholders for the year ended 31 March 2024 was approximately HK$6.4 million (2023: approximately HK$8.4 million) representing a decrease in loss of 24.3% as compared to last year. The loss for the year was mainly due to the decrease in revenue from civil engineering works as the work progress of Project W57 was substantially completed. 14Analysis of revenue and management fee income of each project during the year ended 31 March 2024 was as follows: Project Code Type of works Location 2024 2023 HK$’000 HK$’000 On-going projects W58 Construction of sewers and sewerage Northern Tuen Mun 2401 18011 system W59 Site formation and infrastructure Kam Tin South Yuen 10544 16847 works for public housing Long developments W60 Temporary construction waste Tseung Kwan O and 77047 81011 sorting facilities Tuen Mun Projects completed or substantially completed W52 Remaining works of cycle tracks North District and Tuen – 18324 Mun District W55 Development of columbarium and North District 24423 24792 infrastructural works W57 Development of Long Valley Nature North District 14999 170996 Park Total 129414 329981 During the year ended 31 March 2024 we recognised revenue and management fee income from five projects in total of which two projects were substantially completed. The revenue for the year ended 31 March 2024 was decreased as compared with last year mainly due to decrease in revenue from Project W57 which was substantially completed. 15The gross profit margin for the year ended 31 March 2024 was 3.6% (2023: 1.2%). Increase in gross profit margin as compared with last year was due to stable in price of fuel costs and raw material costs.Other income and net gain for the year ended 31 March 2024 amounted to approximately HK$13.4 million (2023: approximately HK$8.8 million) representing an increase of 51.9% as compared with last year which was due to increase in management fee income from joint operations partner for Projects W58 and W59.Administrative and operating expenses for the year ended 31 March 2024 amounted to approximately HK$25.8 million (2023: approximately HK$23.0 million) representing an increase of 12.2% as compared with last year which was mainly due to increase in technical fees professional costs and staff costs relating to preparation works on biding government tenders during the year.As at 31 March 2024 prepayments deposits and other receivables mainly represented amounts paid for insurance and subcontracting fee prepayments deposits for rental and utilities and other receivables. During the year prepayments deposits and other receivables increased by approximately HK$46.8 million which was mainly due to increase in prepayments of subcontracting fee contra charge material costs and rental of plant and machinery.OUTLOOK Looking forward for the next year the Group will take part in tenders for projects from various government departments more rigorously and actively especially those from the Civil Engineering and Development Department and Drainage Services Department in order to secure more revenue from engineering projects. Due to the fierce competition in the market and the increased technical requirements of the clients for bidding projects it has become increasingly more difficult to successfully win bids for projects. We will enhance the Group’s bidding advantages and capabilities and strive for more successful bids for projects. 16We expect that the Russia-Ukraine war will continue the global financial and energy markets will remain volatile and the prices of energy and raw materials will remain high. Geopolitical uncertainties may result in the disruption of the raw material supply chain which in turn leads to a shortage of supply. Despite the Group’s business suffering fewer adverse effects than other industries we expect our operating cost to remain high and the price will continue to increase in the coming year. The Group will take all reasonable measures to save energy and enhance the efficiency of resource utilisation so as to control costs.The Group will capitalise its competitive advantages after listing to secure more projects and to actively participate in bidding for works of the Hong Kong Government to achieve increase revenue. In additions the Group will also explore various chances in construction industry to create greater value for shareholders.LIQUIDITY FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE The uses of cash of the Group are mainly for the financing of the operations and working capital requirements.
